Parcels to Rhode Island cross the whole country from our California branch to the Northeast, the longest journey in the lower 48, so allow a little longer than for a western address; the delivery window is confirmed with your order.

Tap water in Rhode Island, and what it does to a Mimosa dye bath

USGS regional data put Rhode Island in the soft-water band. Soft water suits Mimosa hostilis well: the bath stays close to neutral, which is where the rose and plum tones hold, so most dyers here can use tap water as it comes. The one thing soft municipal water can carry is chlorine, which dulls some colors; filling the dye pot the night before and letting it stand uncovered lets most of it escape. Rainwater, naturally soft and slightly acidic, is the ideal dye water if you can collect it.

Storing root bark in Rhode Island

NOAA's climate summary for Rhode Island describes moist Atlantic air; about 46 inches of rain a year. Where the summers are humid, damp is the thing to guard against: keep bark sealed in its bag or an airtight jar, add a desiccant packet if it will sit for months, and store it somewhere cool rather than in a basement or a garage that sweats in summer.

Sassafras grows wild in Rhode Island

Sassafras albidum, the tree our sassafras root bark comes from, is native to Rhode Island, and it is easy to spot on a walk by its three leaf shapes on one branch: plain ovals, mittens and three-lobed leaves. Dyers here are working with one of their own region's traditional dye trees; on alum-mordanted wool the root bark gives warm tans and rose-browns.
